    Play Returning Home

    What to do. Challenge 2 only registers during this chapter.

    Returning Home walkthrough →

    Find a Barbell Press opportunity

Why Didn't Challenge 2 Count?

  1. 1. Did you complete the named action?

    No: this Challenge only registers when the official wording is met.

    Yes: continue.

  2. 2. Did you meet every named condition?

    Check the numbered Challenge, the named target, place, weapon, execution or state. A weapon cinematic is not an environment execution.

  3. 3. Did you start from a clean chapter attempt?

    If you resumed from a checkpoint or partial run, use a fresh Returning Home attempt as a controlled retry.

  4. 4. Everything looked clean but still no credit?

    Then a tracking problem remains possible — after the requirement and a clean retry, not before.
